Tesla was a bit of a nutter towards the end though

2019-09-13 23:27:31 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

He fell in love with a pigeon and claimed that wiggling one's toes was the secret to extended life

2019-09-13 23:29:12 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Hardly persecuted I'd say

2019-09-13 23:29:23 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

He was quite rich for some time

2019-09-13 23:30:00 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

In what way

2019-09-13 23:33:32 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Einstein being established in academia doesn't seem to imply Tesla's persecution I'm not quite following that logic

2019-09-13 23:34:12 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I admit I'm not too familiar with the Tesla/Edison patent thing you're mentioning, but from what I understood, Edison had an established research lab which essentially became a patent machine

2019-09-13 23:34:18 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I completely disagree

2019-09-13 23:35:04 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Oh cool what's it called?

2019-09-13 23:39:19 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I'm still not quite following this logic from Tesla not making money from his inventions, to a secret seeded revolution by infiltrating institutions

2019-09-13 23:40:36 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

So, because Edison was a better businessman than Tesla, cultural Marxism?

2019-09-13 23:40:43 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

There is no flow of logic to this

2019-09-13 23:42:03 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Yes

2019-09-13 23:42:51 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I can't see how Tesla relates to it

2019-09-13 23:46:43 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Trotskyist mission? Is this like a specific thing or Trotskyism in general? And infiltrated by what?

2019-09-13 23:48:20 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Do you mean "to what extent do you think that [something] has been infiltrated by Trotskyism?"

2019-09-13 23:49:39 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

So you think we're in a state of permanent revolution?

2019-09-13 23:50:35 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Man the current working class probably doesn't even know what communism is on the whole, let alone is it familiar enough with it as a concept to organise together to overflow capitalism as some sort of global effort to replace it with communism

2019-09-13 23:53:32 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

That's not what Trotskyism is though it's not about institutions it's about the working class

2019-09-13 23:53:44 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Trotskyism is all about mass action by the working class

2019-09-13 23:54:57 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

You can throw these words in capital letters all you want but there seems to be little to no supporting evidence for what you're saying

2019-09-13 23:55:26 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Then that's not Trotskyism that's just changing public opinion

2019-09-13 23:55:43 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Which happens a heck of a lot

2019-09-13 23:56:04 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

1950s: smoking good
2000s: smoking bad

2019-09-13 23:57:15 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Man honestly I'm still trying to follow your thread from Tesla -> cultural Marxism -> Trotskyist permanent revolution

2019-09-13 23:57:56 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Or, you know, advertising in action...?

2019-09-13 23:58:10 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Advertising is predicated on human psychology

2019-09-14 00:01:49 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Psychological manipulation techniques in social policy? Where?

2019-09-14 00:02:48 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Social policy in culture? Those are two *distinct* things

2019-09-14 00:02:53 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Sure, they can impact one another

2019-09-14 00:03:06 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

But a culture does not have social policy

2019-09-14 00:07:40 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Ok so it sounds like Edward Bernays (Freud's nephew) just learned how to advertise successfully

2019-09-14 00:08:11 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I don't see how this relates to your long convoluted thread involving cultural Marxism and Nikola Tesla

2019-09-14 00:08:38 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I'd hardly call it an experiment he just made people think stuff was fashionable, or healthy, or scary, even if it wasn't

2019-09-14 00:08:43 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

That's just advertising

2019-09-14 00:08:56 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

It's perhaps immoral but it's fairly obvious

2019-09-14 00:09:52 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

It's not like our minds are literally being "hacked" (I say this in a colloquial way) to do X entity's bidding

2019-09-14 00:11:57 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Irony of that being that this entire conversation has been a mission creep from a discussion about Nikola Tesla to a discussion about your allegations of "institutional Trotskyism"

2019-09-14 00:12:35 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I've been saying this the whole time it's not like I just now noticed

2019-09-14 00:13:11 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I've just been entertaining you because I thought you'd eventually reach some grand (insane) point linking Nikola Tesla to cultural Marxism and "institutional Trotskyism"

2019-09-14 00:13:19 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

I just got blue balled in a debate wtf

2019-09-14 00:14:31 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

C'mon man I wanna hear how you're linking Tesla to Trotskyism

2019-09-14 00:14:41 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Please lord tell me it involves a flat Earth too

2019-09-14 00:15:17 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Wrong way round

2019-09-14 00:15:30 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Flat earth is an irrational suggestion about an already rationalised situation

2019-09-14 00:15:56 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Yes and it does not relate to flat Earth

2019-09-14 00:16:10 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

No shifting the goal posts, flat earth me daddy

2019-09-14 00:16:48 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Ok

2019-09-14 00:17:24 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

2019-09-14 00:23:13 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Because it's not a theory

2019-09-14 00:23:25 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

It's just tautologies piled onto a boatload of pleonasm

2019-09-14 00:23:36 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Your sentences mean *literally nothing*

2019-09-14 00:23:51 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿ’ฆ

2019-09-14 00:24:24 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Do you like words?

2019-09-14 00:25:14 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

But aren't words really just a manifestation of our current scientific paradigm?

2019-09-14 00:25:22 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Have you given that some deep thought?

2019-09-14 00:25:34 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

You see

2019-09-14 00:26:02 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

What you just wrote, carefully crafted as it was, had the distinct scent of a big load of bullshit

2019-09-14 00:26:20 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Nono

2019-09-14 00:26:39 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Words are just tools

2019-09-14 00:26:42 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

In this case

2019-09-14 00:27:23 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

They're used by those in power, within the hegemony of the scientific paradigm, to aid those haughty metaphysicians who collide and conquer and eventually clash in an almighty battle to the death

2019-09-14 00:27:35 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Gosh

2019-09-14 00:27:42 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Such folly

2019-09-14 00:27:52 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

Woe betide me

2019-09-14 00:30:28 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

You're not understanding its inherent beauty

2019-09-14 00:30:39 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

No

I do believe it's an impediment of the lungs from infuming silica dust

2019-09-14 00:37:37 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

An affront to all that is good and moral and right and good.

2019-09-14 00:37:55 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

See there I subverted the rule of three by repeating the first item of the list

2019-09-14 00:38:22 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

It's a psychological manipulation technique *pioneered* by a nephew of Freud

2019-09-14 00:38:51 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

They're everywhere

2019-09-14 00:39:33 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

To claim that cultural Marxism be but a figment of my imagination is an affront to all that is good and moral and right!

2019-09-14 00:39:34 UTC [Athens #the-long-walls_immigrants]  

And good!
